Dr. Augis is one of the most caring profs I've had. I wasn't fully understanding the work, so I always sent it to her & she actually checked it and helped me. She makes things super simple & wants you to do well. As long as you do all work & put in effort, you will get a good grade. Stay on her good side! Very supportive of students!

She has become one of my favorite professors at Ramapo. With remote learning she is very patient and understanding of students. She reduced the workload for us. Class had a 60 sentence take home final and a reading assignment every week. We only met once a week. Work was very manageable. Feedback was great. Responds and works with students well!

Never take a class with her. If your answer is similar to another person on the final she will send both of you to the provost and will not try to resolve it between you guys. Although she nice, her class was very hard and now ive lost all respect for her.

She's an amazing teacher. Very easy all you have to do are writing argumentative paragraphs every other week on the book you take notes on. Ive taken her 2 times already and have passed both classes. Anyone who says other wise just didn't do the readings or take good notes. Easiest and nicest professor I've taken.

Lots of rules. Lots of quizzes (essay quizzes on reading). Treats her students like children. Didn't learn anything about women & poverty, we talked about race the entire time. She is very left leaning and the readings are too. Her class is difficult and her personality is difficult. Do not take if you have another option. Frustrating for my GPA.

You are not allowed to leave the classroom... even for the bathroom. We could not take notes on our laptops. The entire semester you are graded on 11 assignments including the final. They are easy assignments but still you do bad on one and it drops your grade decently. Her grading criteria is so weird, you get a B+ if you have a 93 in the class.

Even though I learned some new info, I felt like a child the entire time because we couldn't leave the room or use our laptops for notes, and the way she talked to us felt like she was trying to be inspirational, but it was just repetitive, obvious, and only sometimes interesting. There's a lot of reading from a weird textbook and a lot of writing.

There were weekly assignments or quizes based on readings. Had a final research project and worked on resumes. Tough grader but understanding. A lot of work will be the final project due to the amount of research that has to be done. However if you choose an easy topic you are interested in, you should be fine.

assignments are 8th grade level with lots of reading. no laptops and couldn't leave the room. lectures rarely touched on the main subject of the class (race, crime, & justice). discussions were obvious and not interesting. overall didn't really learn as much as i expected to

This professor is horrible if you are doing anything besides school while taking a summer course with her. Quizzes are posted less than 24 hours before they are due with rigid deadlines and no opportunities for extensions. Do not take unless you can devote a few hours of your day at the drop of a hat.

she grades everything at 1am and posts assignments 24 hrs before they're due. requires 4 textbooks, only 2 were read through fully. course structure was messy and it seems like she planned it the night before the summer semester started. quizzes are ok. & she overcomplicates essay assignments
